Israel Investigates School for Incitement after Visit by Parents of Terrorists

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has ordered the attorney general to open an investigation to determine whether an east Jerusalem school is guilty of incitement to violence following a visit by parents of young Palestinians who committed acts of terror against Israeli Jews. The move by Netanyahu follows the opening of a similar investigation by police. It was reported in local media that three weeks ago a school in the Jabal Mukaber neighborhood hosted the program and that one of the speakers was the father of a terrorist who, together with another Palestinian, killed three Jews on a bus; while the son of another speaker was killed while trying to stab his victim. They reportedly spoke glowingly of their children’s “legacy.” The school in question receives no Israeli funding and is supported by Islamic sources. The latest attack happened on Wednesday when a Palestinian woman and her brother attacked guards at the Qalandiya crossing point between Jerusalem and Ramallah. Both were shot dead by security personnel.
